From Austin to Boston, temperatures were forecast to push triple digits, with the heat index — a measure of how hot is feels — reaching 115 degrees in isolated spots. As many as 122 million Americans were under some sort of heat advisory, in an area that stretches 830,000 square miles. And it could be even hotter on Saturday.

I have heard of various instances in which they have changed the temp readings a day or so afterwards. As part of the global warming stuff. Locally, they frequently give arizona tornado warnings. Which is ridiculous since we have rarely ever had a tornado (twice in 40 yrs that I know of) and it has never done damage. In arizona, our summers have been quite normal. Same with our winters. It is common to hit 115 or so in the summer. More than once. Yesterday was 113. No one batted an eye at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had years when it would hit 110 and stay above 100 for highs for weeks and weeks. It's 4:30 now and 97.... not exactly mow the lawn weather but still not out of the ordinary. We should hit 100 tomorrow. all around average for the month is 94 or 95 depending on the source you use. Oklahoma has a really wide range of temperatures, for I've seen 110 to 114 in some years..... and that's not low humidity and it's awful, and dangerous.

Today we have a high heat advisory too. I only mentioned that it is not abnormal weather for our area. I have been reading articles (including one a couple of hours ago) and they keep claiming the entire country is having abnormal weather. Yet we are not.

But even in the early part of the month the temps are decent, typically 90s. Still could be 100, but the breeze isnt the hot oven blast. And the monsoon is over so humidity is low. Sometimes we get a storm but its from california not mexico, so its not a warm storm. Helps lower the temps. Nights are cool. I doubt you will need sweaters or anything, unless you are north of phoenix. The mountains will be cold though at night. You might even have snow in the mountains.
